The best way to fight the system is to be jobless. Imagine if no one had a job? Bye bye capitalism. The end. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Just skimmed through the thread and its filled with strawmen or plain misunderstanding.

Nobody is criticizing someone for having rich parents, even if said parents got that money from exploitation, heck even slavery.

No the criticism is that someone rich, thanks to their parents rather than their own effort, is promoting a way to reach such a position in life by replicating a path that is not real. If you have rich parents and you promote "making stuff" or writing a book, which you actually did yet never meaningfully contributing to the lifestyle you are promoting, you are basically dishonest.

TL;DR: nobody cares about that specific person or that situation, we are just tired of lies sold for profit.

Reminds me of an aside from this blog article that has been living in my head for a few months — To Save the Arts we must Kill the Artist — that goes like:

the artist as the bourgeois failson

And other such points about the intersections of privilege, wealth, etc, and art.

This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.

Her parents are not rich.

Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Trustafarian is an absolutely brilliant insult.

Has anyone seen real dreadlocks before? These are obviously not real. Maybe she's not trying to pass them off as real, idk.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm not sure I get why you responded to my comment.

For sure, and props to you for being open about that—something this post is arguing for IRL (trustafarians tend to conceal their privilege)

As someone who effectively lives in his grandmother's attic and "vibes" I am insulted by the vague comparison. I have to budget with my job damnit, I work as a courier one day a week.

The rest of the week is me doing autism and childhood PTSD things, so jacking off and playing Fallout NV. Also getting new scars via cats.

I also have a far better sense of fashion, THE 1940 SWEDISH TANKER GREAT COAT STAYS ON DURING SEX!

i lost my job earlier this year, so i'm just vibin'. Not exactly ideal but I have some buffer time saved up.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 61 points 5 days ago (23 children)

I for one just had a good job and zero life for 5 years and will kms when my savings run out in a year or two

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You really shouldn't. But if you do, you should consider doing something that would make your death meaningful.

Not going to say anything further.

I survived death. 85-95% chance of dying - nobody's fault but my own. Let me tell ya: when I go down (probably being dragged to a concentration camp, since I am now an illegal person), it won't be quiet and bureaucratic.

I've got friends who are vibing without a job. The vibes are... not so good.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 39 points 5 days ago (6 children)

It's so weird seeing people making poor interpretations of another ethnicity's culture their entire identity. I wonder if there are weirdos in India rocking lederhosen or milkmaid outfits at random music festivals and ranting to strangers about Calvinism?

[–] bstix 13 points 3 days ago

The Japanese Elvis culture springs to mind.

Also, there are "cowboys" everywhere in the world.

You mentioned lederhosen and of course those types exist outside of Germany too.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 32 points 4 days ago (19 children)

You should see some of the "American food" they sell in some parts of Europe and Asia. I feel like it's pretty typical everywhere to misunderstand and exoticize other cultures.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 14 points 4 days ago

Not just typical. It should be celebrated. I for one throughly enjoy seeing cross cultural exchanges of any creative type. Exotic doesn't need to be derogatory or dehumanizing. (it's really unfortunate that it most often is.) Everybody is exotic somewhere.

Or they might have broken their back working long hours for 20 years sacrificing to live below their means and build up a big enough stash to be able to vibe for a while and maybe even find something to do that would be meaningful for them and possibly help others. I don’t presume to know anyone else’s history, struggles, or circumstances, and it seems a bit unkind to make assumptions.

But, probably, yeah. In most cases. I just felt personally attacked because I just left a job I hated, moved to a low cost of living area, massively downsized on housing, and realized I can exist for quite a while without having a job, and can finally try finishing some side projects I never had time for. So, I still work, it’s just that nobody is paying me.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

Fucking trust fund babies.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There are people vibing on fiends couches going from person to person. They they don't look like that.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 27 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Takes a certain kind of mentality to vibe on a fiend's couch
